We offer infection prevention and control alongside resources to help rehabilitation facilities and hospitals remain infection-free, so your patients can return to a healthy and active lifestyle quickly. Here are a few areas where our company can help rehabilitation centers with infection control.
On-Site Assessment
Infection Control Results offers an array of on-site infection prevention and control assessments to help keep your rehabilitation center running smoothly. Our infection prevention assessments will properly educate your staff, ensure industry standards are met, and develop effective protocols.
We’ll also provide a thorough risk assessment and evaluate your current plans and policies, paying particular attention to the areas that require more help than others. In doing so, you can be confident your rehabilitation center’s trajectory is positive. No matter the size of your rehab facility, we’ll perform a thorough, valuable assessment and provide recommendations tailored to your facility with resources
Education
When you want to be sure your staff remains up-to-date on the needs of your industry, Infection Control Results can help. We’ll design a top-notch continuing education course to help your rehabilitation center thrive.
Each course includes educational materials, speaker notes, and digital tools. Once you have everything you need, we’ll work with your leaders to ensure you understand how the course will expand your knowledge.
A few course options Infection Control Results offers rehab centers will focus on:
- Infection control
- Bloodborne pathogens
- Employee orientation
- Device-related infections
Onboarding
Effective and efficient onboarding is vital for new infection control employees, especially novices at rehabilitation centers. When you bring new infection prevention specialists into your rehab facility, you’ll need to feel confident they know all the specifics of their role.
Our onboarding training program will help ease new specialists into their roles. First, we’ll educate your new staff on guidelines, protocols, and Medicare requirements. Then, if they still need assistance, they’ll have access to telephone consultants to answer any follow-up questions.
Our onboarding program aims to help your specialists excel in their rehab center infection control positions. We do so by offering a robust program that includes various continuing education options once the initial learning phase is complete.
Survey Prep
Rehabilitation centers may be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and participate in Medicare/Medicaid (CMS). Standards must be followed to maintain your rehab facility’s Medicare and Medicaid eligibility. Since these surveys can happen at any time, it’s not unusual to feel nervous.
Infection Control Results’ survey prep can help take some of the strain away. We’ll guide you in making sure your rehabilitation center meets all the conditions required for Medicare and Medicaid participation.
Staff assessments for survey prep will include confirming your rehab center staff is up-to-date on infection control standards and safe patient care including physical, occupational, and speech therapy. We achieve this goal by crafting a mock survey to determine weak areas, followed by a robust plan to keep your staff informed.
HAI Prevention
Healthcare-acquired infections (HAI) are a significant concern at all rehabilitation centers. Unfortunately, no matter how hard you work to avoid or prevent them, sometimes, they happen. Our company knows there are things you can do to decrease patients’ chances of developing an HAI. We will determine the gaps in care that may contribute to the development of HAIs.
Remote Surveillance
As with our other services, we’ll start by assessing your current policies and practices. Then, based on patient records and your rehabilitation center’s protocol, we can help determine whether a patient developed an infection caused by health care or not
We offer remote analysis of your electronic medical and health records to ensure you get results quickly. Accessing your EMRs remotely will cut back on the number of man-hours you’ll need to spend sorting out the proper documents and delivering them to us.
COVID-19 Protocols
The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed the face of the healthcare industry. With ever-changing guidelines and emerging science, keeping up with everything can be overwhelming. We’ll help you navigate what you need to know so your rehab center infection control program adheres to guidelines.
We’ll use our patient care knowledge in intensive rehab services to develop the best solutions for your hospital. We can assist your facility to develop product evaluation processes to ensure you obtain the needed items that not only work for patient care but for all team members such as choosing an appropriate disinfectant. We’ll teach you how to choose the right products to keep your rehabilitation center on track.
Infection Control Results consultants will also provide you with educational materials so you can show patients which guidelines you’re following. Doing so can help ease their minds and make each visit a bit easier.
